I agree, HotMess. I watched this on FB this morning, and was hoping he would teach his daughter a more valuable lesson. Wouldn't donating the computer to a hard-working student teach her more than destroying a perfectly good laptop? I was also confused by him holding a lit cigarette... as I didn't notice him take a single drag. Was this a prop? And if so, what purpose did it serve? As a parent and teacher, I don't see how humiliating a child will teach them to stop humiliating others. It reminds me of the parent spanking the child, all the time yelling, "I told you not to hit!"
I was O.K. with him until he pulled out the handgun. Now I wonder how much more there is to this story.
ffwd towards last quarter there.. judge away.. (not wise imho)

I agree with John D. A simple answer will encourage and reward curiosity. Another great response is "What do YOU think the answer is?"
zen - cool me too - boys 10, 5 and 2... :)
Hi all! I am new to AN,so far I am enjoying the page. My hubby and I have three boys eight, three and one :) The area we live in is very religious,it's nice to come to a place (even if that place is online) and feel welcome. I'm looking foreword to getting to know other parents.
My 5 year old yells out - mum I know where my shoes are, but I just haven't found them yet - he is very creative about aiming to avoid being told off..... :)
